InsaneSo how have lines and crowds been for the show?
InsaneSo how have lines and crowds been for the show?
I wouldn’t call it “insane.” The lines down the street before they admit guests into the theater look insane, but guests are still getting into the first show even as it’s beginning, and the second show is not playing to full capacity (the extreme side sections are typically empty for the late show). That may soon change, however, when a chunk of seats get shifted to the dining package.Insane
You beat Me!!!!! Thanks!! LOL!!!!!!!! Well done for F! in this weather DHS!! Doing better than MVMCP so far.......First show (11/20 7:30pm):
- Partial lasers, 2/3 sets off.
- No pyro before flower segment (4 days and counting).
- No third monkey barge.
- No Beauty and Beast barge. Also they turned off the center laser projections for this, which would project a rose, shell, and bow for each princess.
- Snake headlights didn't turn on.
- Snake didn't move around stage either.
- Dragon pyro misfired.
- Steamboat pyro pinwheels okay, some didn't spin.
- Pyro pinwheels on water barges weren't released again, stayed in down position.
- Was drizzling a bit. One section empty on either side. Surprisingly show wasn't delayed or cancelled.
There was 3 monkey barges tonight, it was only missing for BatB.First show (11/20 7:30pm):

Ah you're right. Guess I missed it. Then that's really weird that Belle and Beast weren't there for the Princess segment. I know it's happened plenty in the past, but still weird.There was 3 monkey barges tonight, it was only missing for BatB.

It's always had small things broken here and there, varying night to night. Most of the time it's normal stuff like no ribbons in the finale, no moat fire, missed pyro cues, etc. It's just more noticeable now since the show just came back and obviously I'm taking note of it nightly (when replays available).Has this show always had constantly random broken things? Am I too dumb to notice?
I just imagine as a person who has done some entertainment work in the past that missing things every show would get people fired.It's always had small things broken here and there, varying night to night. Most of the time it's normal stuff like no ribbons in the finale, no moat fire, missed pyro cues, etc. It's just more noticeable now since the show just came back and obviously I'm taking note of it nightly (when replays available).
But there are major ones now like broken/missing projection lasers. Before the closure the regular lasers have been inoperational for a couple months, so old habits come back lol?
No DAS or Genie+ right now. For the 7:30/8 show people start lining up around 5:45/6 with them starting to allow guests into the amphitheater around 6:30.How far in advance are people lining up for the early show? Safe to assume there's no DAS or Genie+ option right now?
The first show has been always starting on time, and more recently the second show has also been on time, so I would say they've been improving on operations/loading since reopening.I’ve been trying to learn more about the backups when loading the theater. I’ve heard multiple reports that the process seems to be taking the cast members longer than it did before the shutdown. Does this process seem to be getting better as the show has been back now for a few weeks? What is causing the inefficiency?
They need to get CMs that know how to swim!!Fantasmic had a big technical mishap last night! The steamboat didn't come out AND no characters came out on stage.
Usually if they know that the steamboat's down for whatever reason, they prepare for the B-mode finale where all the characters come out on stage to perform the ribbon dance.
But that didn't happen last night. My best guess is that all the CMs were already on the steamboat, but the steamboat failed last second and didn't move, hence no characters at all on stage. Instead guests got some pretty lights, fountains, and eventually pyro. Do note that the pinwheels on the barges didn't activate either, so that's another miss for the night.
